They will use the Immigration to Texas worksheet, Graphic Organizer chart, Compare and Contrast activities, among others, to discover more about the lives of Texas immigrants. Additionally, they will use the Mapping Diversity, Photo Analysis [Reflection], Immigration Timeline, and the Forgotten Gateway [video] to find out more about the challenges and issues of immigrants.
